Kunci: A major
Verse 1
G
Lily Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts,
you know, there's like 15 verses.
So does anybody here
actually know all of them?
Does anybody want to come up
C
G
and sing one or two?
C
G
The festival was over
C
G
and the boys were playing po -po
The gallery was quiet
C
G
except for the drilling in the wall
C
G
He your hand and left it in
D
G
the gambling wheel shut down
C
G
Anyone with any sense
G
He was standing in the doorway
C
D
G
Looking like a little jack -of -all -trades
He looked across the mirror
C
G
Stared up at everyone he saw
And everyone commenced to do
C
What they were doing before
C
And he walked up to a stranger
G
D
G
and he glanced him in the grin
C
G
Can you kindly tell me, son,
D
what time this show begins?
G
And he moved into the corner
C
and he danced down like a
D
G
jack -o' -lantern
Backstage the girls were playing
C
G
five cards stood by the stair
Lily had two queens
C
and she was hoping for a third
D
G
and the windows opened wide
C
A gentle breeze was blowing
G
D
you could feel it on your side
G
And Lily called another bat
C
D
G
who drew up from the jack -o -lantern
Well, Big Jim was no one's fool
And he made his usual entrance
C
G
Lookin' so dandy and so fine
C
G
With his bodyguards and silver cane
D
G
And every hair in place
C
He took whatever he wanted to
G
D
and he laid it all to waste
G
But his bodyguards and silver cane
C
took no match for the jack
D
G
al's heart
Rosemary combed her hair
C
G
and took a carriage into town
She slipped in through the side door
C
G
looking like a queen without a crown
C
G
Well, she fluttered her false eyelashes
D
G
and whispered in her ear
C
G
Sorry, darling, I'm late,
D
but you didn't seem to care
G
You were staring into space
C
D
G
over at the jack -o' -lanterns
Well, I know I've seen
that face somewhere
C
Big Jim was thinking to himself
G
C
G
Well, maybe down in Mexico
C
G
or a picture up on somebody's shelf
D
G
and the house lights dimmed
C
G
And in the darkness of the room
D
there was only Jim and Jim
C
D
G
who was just too the jack of hearts
Well, Lily was a princess
C
She was fair -skinned and
She did whatever she had to
C
She had that certain flash
C
G
She'd come away from a broken home
D
G
and lots of strange af fairs
C
G
With men in every walk of life
D
which took her everywhere
C
D
G
C
G
quite like the jack of hearts
C
G
C
G
Well the hanging judge came in
C
G
Unnoticed and was being whined
Oh, the drillin' and the war kept up,
C
G
but no one seemed to pay it any mind
G
D
G
that a lily had a dream to bring
C
And nothing would ever come
G
D
between a lily and the king
G
No, nothing would ever come,
D
G
-o' -lanterns
Rosemary started drinking hard,
C
G
seeing her reflection in the night
She was tired of the attention,
C
G
tired of playing the role of victim's wife
C
G
Yeah, she had done a lot of bad things,
G
C
Was looking to choose
G
She was gazing to the future,
C
D
G
C
G
reading on the devil's heart
Well, Lily washed her face,
Has your luck run out?
She laughed.
C
Well, I guess you must have known
D
G
There's a brand new coat vane.
C
G
I'm glad to see you're still alive.
D
You're looking like a saint.
footstep you're coming.
C
D
G
Oh, it was the dagger heart.
Well, the backstage manager
C
G
was pacing all around by his chair
Yeah, there's something
funny going on,
C
G
he said, I can just feel it in the air
C
G
He went to get the hanging judge,
D
but the hanging judge withdrew
G
C
G
As the leading actor hurried by
D
in the costume of the law
G
There was no actor anywhere
C
D
G
better than the jack of hearts
Well, no one knew the circumstance,
C
G
but they had it happen pretty quick
C
G
Yeah, the door to the dressing room
C
G
burst open and a cold revolver clicked
C
G
And Big Jim was standing there,
D
G
you couldn't say surprised
C
G
Rosemary right beside him,
D
toward the jack -o' -lantern
G

And closed down the bank safe
C
It's said that they got off
G

with quite a haul
C

And in the darkness by the river bed
D
they waited on the ground
G

For one more member

G
But they couldn't go no further,
C

A big gym laid covered up
C

Oh, she didn't even blink

The hanging judge was sober
